If only there was a map to find your dreams. Maybe, there is. I’m told that it’s an inner journey, though.
Lillie McFerrin posts a “Five Sentence Fiction” prompt.

I Know a Place Where Dreams Are Born
I don’t understand, Margaret, because Peter said that we should make a left at the brightest star in the Hersitua Vernakular, and then gently glide the bike down the Franguna Pangia into the soft grains of sand of the smaller western Cheristium Lake.
Well, Margaret, here we are, and the map shows we did everything just like he told us.
He promised that this would be a place where our dreams would be born, didn’t he Margaret?
Uh-oh, Margaret, it seems I’m holding the map upside-down.
Wendy, look, here in the legend on the bottom, it says “To realize your true dreams, remember that it’s not on any chart, you must find it with your heart.”

Ah very nice. Love the pic to go along with it
Thanks. I can’t take credit for the pic.
But then I can’t take credit for the story either, can I?
I have to thank J. M. Barrie for writing Peter Pan.
But thank you for visiting and commenting.

Ah… The fine print. 🙂
Yes, we always have to look closely at everything, don’t we.
Nice to hear from you. Randy
Clever take on the prompt!
thank you. Clever is us.
Randy
Good one.. 🙂
thanks,
BTW, do you a place where dreams are born?
An interesting journey, even though the small print wasn’t noticed. Great take and ideas here. 🙂
the devil’s in the details, aren’t they?
Randy (thanks for commenting)
Always — but I’m thinking the devil is getting some what of a bad rap all the time 😉
why shouldn’t he/she?
Isn’t that what he/she is here for – to provide a bad rap?
It’s not like the devil needs a press agent.
Or, does he/she?
Actually may he/she does -need a press agent.
Well the thing is, if he/she is here, and in some cases, the results are really awful, then that’s one thing, but in all truth, if we pick it apart – and mind, it’s all in the details – in the fine print 😉 – then is it not our responsibility to be paying attention – to all of the details?
Seems to be blaming the devil — or playing devil’s advocate 😉 —– is an abdication of responsibilities. 🙂
Well put.
I agree.
Now that I’ve read your fine print, Ms. Atan. (just a little pun)
Thanks, Randy
Laughing uncontrollably ….
Have a great day Randy 🙂
